Oh boy, my legs are sore. And by sore, I mean it hurts to climb stairs, bend to pick up the kids and even sit at my desk. Must have been the 3 hour fitness class or 5 km run yesterday. Oh wait, I didn't do that yesterday. I didn't do that ever.ever.ever. I had a photo session with a newborn baby and his 3 year old brother. That's what this painstiffness awesome feeling is from. I did squats for 90 minutes straight, without even thinking about it. Can that count for my exercise for the day, or am I that out of shape right now? But these images make it all worthwhile. Lactic acid and all.

My children are often described as "crazy". What can I say, they like to have fun. And that's exactly what it is..plain old fun! But sometimes I find myself defending them - you know, to clarify. They aren't actually crazy or really weird, they just like to run around naked with rubber boots and a winter hat on...or maybe just put on their dad's clothes.

Soon point.click.change will have a new home and a space for all photographers to share their stories about giving back to the community. A big thanks to Sandy Puc' and CreativeLIVE for inspiring me! It really was an amazing experience to be a part of the live audience. Stay tuned for the new home and where you can learn more about making a difference.

I've neglected my blog for the past week. How do you sum up the experience of a lifetime? How do you put it into words? How do you explain the gift that has been given to you? You can't...it isn't possible. I have changed. period. CreativeLIVE has given me a gift - of friends, knowledge, experience. And I appreciate it all. Thank you to my new friends Omar, Karen, Carol, Nathan and Stephanie. How can 6 people, from all over the world, bond so quickly? I am so happy to have shared this experience with you. ...and the baby dolls...

Every once in a while I forget to enjoy my children. I forget that they will grow up and I won't have these moments. I forget when they ask to be carried, that soon I won't be able to because they've gotten so big. I forget that piggy back rides and playing dress up will become things of the past. I forget that soon I will forget.
